-Introduction
-VPatch allows to create a patch file to update previous versions of
-your software. The GenPat utitily generates the patch file. The plug-in can use the
-patch to update a file. Using a patch, you can reduce the download size of your
-updates, because only the differences between the files are included in the patch
-file.
-How to use
-Generate the patch file
-Make sure you have the source file (original version) and the target file (version
- to update to). For example, DATA.DTA (currently on user system) and DATA_20.DTA
- (version 2.0 of this data file). Now call the command line tool GenPat.exe:
-GENPAT data.dta data_20.dta data.pat
-Now, the patch will be generated, this will take some time.
-Using the /B=(BlockSize) parameter of the GenPat utility (put it after
-the filenames), you can use a different block size. A smaller block size may result in
-a smaller patch, but the generation will take more time (the default blocksize is 64).
-Update the file in your installer
-Use the VPatch plug-in to update a file using a patch file:
-vpatch::vpatchfile "pathfile.pat" "source.file" "new.file"
-The result of the patch operating will be added to the stack and can
